At the 2021 census the median home was worth $1,200,000, where Ontario’s towns sit at $695,000. No sales are published for towns in Ontario, Blake-Jones included, so owners’ values are the measure. On the 2024 assessment, the middle residential property is valued at $557,000. Ontario still assesses at 2016 values (MPAC’s 1 January 2016 base): a figure to set against other Ontario towns, not against prices. For assessed values, values by property type and building permits, the only official count covers all of the city of Toronto, Blake-Jones included.
